HMMDA16S - HMP Single Cell MDA 16S rRNA Sanger Sequencing

Currently, there are over 1000 bacterial reference genomes
at various stages of sequencing within HMP, however we are still far from
covering the breadth of phylogenetic diversity of human associated
microorganisms. As part of the technology development goals of the HMP, we are
exploring recent advances in single cell-based techniques, such as multiple
displacement amplification (MDA), in order to access hard-to-culture members of
the microbiome.
